Colts / NFL Game Thread

Our defense is gonna be interesting. Going back to a 4-3, which should help guys like Basham and Hankins. Heard a lot of people talking about Geathers moving to linebacker, I'm assuming at WILL since his athleticism would make him good to chase down plays. Would make more sense to seriously consider Fitzpatrick if that is the idea of moving Geahters down

Enjoyed everything Reich had to say in the press conference. Ready to get the off season rolling with free agency and the draft

I like how he said, and I’m paraphrasing, that we’re not only going to be tougher, but tougher longer than anyone else. I thought he was going to go the canned route of “we’re going to be the toughest team out there” but I like how he spun it to be tougher longer. It’s the NFL; everyone is tough.

I don't know how into analytics you guys are, but if you're interested this is a really good read on the 217 Colts, and our complete and total ineptitude.

So I guess Colts are gonna let Melvin test the market. There are rumors that he is looking for 3 years, 10+ million a year . If someone wants to overpay a 28 year old corner based on one great year then whatever, I'd rather see Wilson more and potentially sign Kyle Fuller. Maybe draft a corner too

I agree. Over paying free agents is a lesson we should have learned with Grigson. I don’t see the new regime making the same mistakes.

So far so good with free agents. Pretty much all of Ballard's deals last season worked out, hopefully he continues to build on that foundation.

So if Mike Gesicki falls to the second round for whatever reason I'm all for taking him with the Colts second round pick. Dude is freakish given his size. Doubt he falls that far

He was really impressive. I undersold Barkley earlier. I am shocked he tested as good as he did. I think he could legit go first and the Browns take Mayfield at 4. You guys will still probably end up with Chubb which is still pretty damn good. The top of the board is better than I would have thought. As a Bears fan I don’t mind being at 8 because I feel 3-4 teams will reach on QB before us.

Bummed that Barkley tested so well. Would have loved to root for him for the next 6-7 years as a Colt.

Browns could be set here taking Barkley 1st then a QB with the 4th pick but I’d be thrilled to see the Colts pick Chubb

I'd be so not thrilled to be the #1 pick if it meant I got stuck playing for the Browns.

True but someone eventually has to take on the challenge

Orlando Brown ran a 5.85..... Goodell in a suit and dress shoes just ran a 40 time in 5.41. I don't take a ton of stock in the combine, but if you want to see a kid potentially tank their draft stock, watch Brown's combine

It's impressive regardless but Goodell had gym shoes on with his suit. He was moving though.

We're those interns fudging the numbers though

One week until NFL free agency starts. Most excited I've been for free agency in a  while. Can't wait to hear how every free agent is linked to the Colts since we have so much money

What Dalton said. I'd want to give Sammie Watkins or Allen Robinson a show me contract. Maybe Zach Fulton
